Plaza Mayor has been used for bullfights, soccer games, public executions and markets in the past, but is now one of the biggest tourist attractions in Madrid. They also have a ring of old and historic shops and cafes that seem like a pretty good time.
Plaza de Cibeles is a city landmark of Madrid that is well-known for its marble sculptures and fountains that have become symbolic monuments for the city over the years, but is most importantly famous for the Cibeles Palace which is also Madrid's city hall.
Gran Via is a shopping street in central Madrid that is actually a few minutes away from Plaza de Cibeles. It is known as the "the street that never sleeps" and "one of the streets with more nightlife in Europe." It is famous for its hotels, movie theaters and most importantly, its beautiful architecture.
Last but not least, El Rastro is known to be Madrid's oldest flea market. Here one can find second-hand clothing, vinyl records, jewelry, etc. Along the sides of the street where the the flea market is held are other antique shops one can visit as well. Unfortunately, the flea market is only held on Sundays. It is also best to make it out early in the morning to avoid a bigger crowd later on in the day.
